Message Board Post:
I have tried writing twice to this new and exciting news and each time I have done
something wrong, so hopefully I will do this one right, if these have already been posted
on the MESSAGE BOARD, then it will just show how ELATED, EXCITED AND BREATHLESS, that I
am, it has been four years and to get a reply like this is incredible, I now have the
missing pieces, the actual area where I live is where my ancestors died, I am 7 miles from
HEALING SPRINGS, and to know that JOHN CAIN was proablely who my father was named after,
is so wonderful, and me named JOHNNIE , after my father, and my brother, this so great, I
have been searching for this snice I was 17 and I am now 51, I am crying , it is so
wonderful to know my ancestor fought against the TORIES, and died near HEALING SPRINGS, I
HAVE BEEN THERE MANY TIMES AND GOT WATER, that makes that area scared now to me, YES.
PLEASE , WRITE ME BACK , the chapter of my CAIN lineage just opened up fully now , I HAVE
PHOTOS AND TIN-TYPE p!
ictures that came from my grandmother NANCY CAIN and now maybe I can put a name to a
face, I will SCAN these for all to see, I am so excited, I WISH MY FATHER WAS ALIVE TO
HEAR THIS, HE WAS THE FIRST TO OUR FAMILY TREE WRITTEN DOWN IN A OLE BAPTIST DOCTRINE
BOOK, not any of the greats or great greats, just his mother and sister and my 3 older
siblings, so he would be proud to hear of the TORIE history, I wil await your reply, I am
greatly indebted to you. JOHNNIE RUTH, EUREKA, I AM ON CLOUD NINE.
